     SEC. 3___. DEFICIT-NEUTRAL RESERVE FUND RELATING TO 
                   LEGISLATION THAT WOULD RESTORE COMPETITION IN 
                   DIGITAL MARKETS BY IMPOSING A PRESUMPTIVE 
                   PROHIBITION ON ALL MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS BY

       The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate 
     may revise the allocations of a committee or committees, 
     aggregates, and other appropriate levels in this resolution, 
     and make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger, for one or 
     more bills, joint resolutions, amendments, amendments between 
     the Houses, motions, or conference reports relating to 
     legislation that would restore competition in digital markets 
     by imposing a presumptive prohibition on all mergers and 
     acquisitions by companies that operate market dominant online 
     platforms by the amounts provided in such legislation for 
     those purposes, provided that such legislation would not 
     increase the deficit over either the period of the total of 
     fiscal years 2021 through 2025 or the period of the total of 
     fiscal years 2021 through 2030.
